Yesterday saw the opening of Hornbach’s first store for Switzerland at Littau near Lucerne. The company has invested SFR 31.5 mio in this outlet, which has a weighted area of 10 500 m². Like the store in Krems, Austria, the branch in Littau has a drive-in facility for building materials. On 26 June the Swiss Jumbo group extended its DIY superstore in nearby Emmen through the addition of a new glasshouse.
